And he is no longer a man

Translation: Mohamed Asima Number of pages: 143 A great lover of women. Very selfish, crying, groaning, rebellious against the prevailing literary trend. But wise and a good thinker since the beginning of his appearance on the literary scene. He is a terrible child. Drug addict. Suffering from paranoia. And this allowed him to be his own praise and the harshest critic of himself at the same time. He is the only Japanese writer who produced rich literary works in quality in the late 1930s and early 1940s (1930 - 1940) when the Japanese nation was living through the era of military ideology and extreme nationalism. This writer is the most popular after the war. And perhaps until now — he ends his life while at the height of his literary fame, throwing himself into the waters of a canal almost like a swamp, with a neurotic and death-obsessed mistress, leaving behind a wife with no money, and three young children, and another mistress with whom he has a child he has never seen. A very exciting life, and no one can narrate it better than Dazai himself.
